## FAQ

### How will Staatic improve the performance of my site?

Staatic transforms your dynamic WordPress site into a streamlined static site. Starting
at the homepage or a designated URL, Staatic uses a web crawler to methodically 
navigate through every link, post, and page. As it moves through the site, dynamically
generated content is captured and converted into static HTML files, while simultaneously
fetching related assets like images and scripts.

By eliminating both WordPress and PHP from the delivery process, pages from your
site are served instantly, bypassing the delay of on-the-fly generation. This guarantees
the quickest possible load times and significantly reduces the time to first byte(
TTFB), offering an unparalleled browsing experience for your visitors and enhancing
your site’s SEO positioning.

### Why not use a caching plugin?

Caching plugins boost site performance by storing data for quicker access, yet they
don’t fully bypass WordPress, introducing some latency. Additionally, after every
update, these plugins need cache prewarming to serve the first requests quickly.
In contrast, static sites are always ‘warmed up’, ensuring consistently rapid load
times.

Furthermore, with Staatic, you gain the flexibility to host your site on any platform
of your choice. This means you could opt for an ultra-fast cloud provider or a robust
content delivery network, further amplifying your site’s performance and ensuring
optimal user experience.

### Will the appearance of my site change?

No, it shouldn’t. However, if there is a difference in the static version of your
site, it might be due to invalid HTML in your original WordPress site that couldn’t
be accurately converted. In such instances, consider checking your HTML’s validity
using services like the [W3C Markup Validation Service](https://validator.w3.org/).

### How will Staatic improve the security of my site?

By converting your site into static HTML pages, you substantially minimize the potential
attack surface. This strengthens your website’s security and reduces the ongoing
need to update WordPress, its plugins, and themes constantly. As a result, you can
enjoy greater peace of mind, knowing your site is resilient to most threats.

### Is Staatic compatible with all plugins?

Not entirely. When your site undergoes conversion to a static format, dynamic server-
side functionalities become unavailable. As a result, plugins relying on these features–
such as those processing forms or fetching external data – might not function immediately
or might be unsupported altogether.

To accommodate such features, adjustments or alternatives may be necessary. Alternatively,
you can opt for Staatic Premium, which seamlessly integrates some of these functionalities.
For detailed insights, visit [staatic.com](https://staatic.com/wordpress/).

### Will Staatic function on shared or heavily restricted servers?

Staatic offers broad compatibility, only requiring the permissions to write to the
working directory and to initiate an HTTP connection with your dynamic WordPress
installation.

I tried a few other Static Site Generators, but this one seemed to work the best
for me. And many thanks to the support team for their help ironing out a few issues
we did have.

 [parismolver](https://profiles.wordpress.org/parismolver/) Феврал 7, 2026

This is 5/5 and then some! I tried simply static and it would take 3 times longer,
provide no status on progress, and worst of all, it wouldn’t export all the posts
or pages. I tried other generators and they either wouldn’t output the custom post
type which is part of my theme, or simply wouldn’t work like WP2static. I spent 
about 10 hours trying to get this export working. I made minimal changes with this
plugin to the settings, when things didn’t work the first time I could see what 
wasn’t working (404’s in my site) just by reading the logs, correcting it, and then
uploading the 2nd run through to my host.This was also much faster, the only feature
I would like to see would be page caching so that it doesn’t have to rescan because
when i need to do small edits on pages without no new pages made, i would like to
skip this step as it takes about 10 minutes for my site.

I tried this plugin because it has S3 functionality. Unfortunately hours of troubleshooting
with both ChatGPT and Deepseek did not result in a single working export of my basic
website. The URLs were broken 100% of the time, ignoring the critical settings specified.

This plugin is awesome. The seamless integration with Netlify, GitHub and S3 is 
really what makes it superior to plugins in the same category.

I’ve been trying to convert my sites to static HTML for a while now and after trying
many different plugins and other techniques. I have to say, this is the best and
easiest way to convert a WordPress site to static HTML.I love that this plugin is
being actively maintained so here are is a feature suggestion I think would make
Staatic even better: Incremental pushes to GitHub.
